Comment:

You really do have to work for your grade. BUT out of all the classes that I've taken at UH, this class was one I felt I learned from the most and I feel I can apply the experience to real life situations. I took the course online Fall, 2019. I recommend this course to anyone who loves to learn and truly wants to get value out of their education.

Comment:

This class is supposed to be student driven and thus the teacher has very little involvement. That being said, the teacher is essentially non-existent. This is a self taught, self driven class. If you are not a self-motivated person, don't take this course. This class requires a large amount of group work and the group projects are demanding.

Comment:

One of the most horrible classes I've ever taken. The professor does not care about your grade at all, no extra credit whatsoever. Save yourself and do not take this class. There are two group projects and if you end up with a bad team you're screwed. The professor is rude when you ask him for help.

vague class. horrible teacher. you won't learn about entrepreneurship in this class or in college unless youre starting your own business on the side. this class is a joke. the project is a joke. this teacher is awful, unhelpful, and there should never be an online entrepreneurship class. get full credit for all discussions, super easy but learned0

Comment:

The ppl who hate this dude probably slacked pretty bad. The class is cake if you know how to manage time. Hes extremely responsive to emails, witty, and gives you every resource to pass. Only horrific part of this class is the team projects (2). I got stuck w/the most dysfunctional group for project 1, but he offered to find me a new team for p.2

Comment:

My team and I completed all class assignments fully and in advance. Unfortunately, directions for the two projects were unclear and he docked major points for things never mentioned in the project instructions. Weekly assignments are simple but answers can be broad. Your answer might be right but he may give you a 0. Subjective grading! DO NOT TAKE

Projects are detailed, but they prepare you for real world expectations and more importantly corporate environment. Professor offers great feedback on all assignments which is an excellent tool for learning as a student.

Comment:

If you want to take a class to drop your gpa, be my guest. The weekly assignments are easy and straightforward. However, his grading on the group projects is terrible and he cuts points off for stuff he never mentioned in the instructions of the project. To top it off, he's rude and makes comments that are unnecessary if he does not agree w/ you.

Comment:

To the person who wrote the review before me, congrats. You should find him and buy him a cookie. But to the rest of you, stay away. Aside from his grading methods, His smart-a** comments and snobby attitude make up his horrible class. Assignments teach you nothing. Mr. Karonika, if you're such an "entrepreneur", why are you still teaching?

Comment:

I'm convinced that the bad reviews are from students who expected the course to be a "blow-off". There are weekly assignments that are straight from the text and very easy. Two group projects are fairly simple as long as you have a good group and don't procrastinate and follow the guidelines. Allocate your time and work correctly and you'll pass.

Comment:

I really don't see why people think this class is so hard. There's 12 weekly quizzes which are just short discussions that are super easy & then 2 group projects. Yeah, the group projects are long, but if you get a good group and break up the work it's fairly easy. We got a 70 on both projects and I still passed this class with an A.

Comment:

OH MY GOD. PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. Do not take this class unless you're doing it in the summer. This professor is extremely tough. There are 2 60-90 page projects that will ruin your life. There are no clear instructions and you only see the requirements AFTER he has graded it. Projects are hard. STAY AWAY! Wouldn't curve my final grade up from a 89.9

Comment:

Don't take this professor!!!! I expected this course to be interesting and insightful, what I didn't expect was to be belittled and made to feel like a fool. He has 2 major projects that are worth 60% of the grade and no joke, they are over 60+ pages long. This isn't a graduate level course so there's no reason to have such hefty projects.

Good understanding professor, tough grader on the project but overall I enjoyed the class. I took the summer course, class consisted of 4 quizzes, 1 group project and 2 peer evaluations. He gives good feed back and accessible if needed.

DO NOT TAKE this class. I read the comments before I enrolled thinking it would be okay but i was wrong. The first assignment is opinion based, I followed all directions and he gave me a 0 and his comment was extremely rude. I worked hard and I am an A-B student so receiving this was shocking. He is terrible and I learned nothing. AVOID THIS CLASS!

Comment:

This was the most difficult online course I've ever taken. He is the most specific grader, and takes points off for everything. Two group projects that are about 90 pages EACH. Choose your team members wisely, because there is a ton of work to do on the projects. He doesn't seem to care about his students much. Way too tough, take someone else.

Comment:

This professor contradicts everything he says with his rules. Be sure to watch out for your group members as well as well, this class requires loyal group members who are honest about your efforts on peer evaluations, which are test grades. The class requires a huge team effort towards the long and excessive projects.

STAY AWAY! I cant stress enough how ridiculously difficult this class is. Ive never rated a professor but this one needs a huge caution sign. Hes rude and unclear about instructions. Weekly discussions are easy but his group projects of 100 pages are difficult because they contradict his examples and simply dont make sense. Stay away if you can
